Flamma sine Fumo | ||
Upon the death of the Right Worshipful: Sir Anthony Mansel,
who was shot, and kild at the battel of Newbery:
Quis desiderio sit pudor, aut modus,
Tam chari capitis:
Hora.
Tam chari capitis:
Hora.
Death like a coward at a distance stood,
When she struck him: his valour was so good,
She durst not venter neere: Death to her shame
His body kill'd, but could not kill his name.
In this sad battel, if fame truth doth say,
We got the field, and yet we lost the day.
58
And clouds of sorrow did obscure the light.
It were injustice to neglect his dust,
Whose death was noble, as his life was just:
Now heaven crownes him, where all labors cease,
Although he dy'd in war, he dy'd in peace:
